40 years ago I was kidnapped, brainwashed, and abused by my parent's
bestfriend. 40 years ago, I wasn't ready to tell my story. But now I
am, and I can't do it alone. I need your help. The encouragement I
have received from you has been overwhelming and helps me realize that
no matter how hard this journey is, my story needs to be told. I
realize not everyone can contribute, and for those who can, please
consider donating more. Know that no donation is too small. And please
remember that no donation is too big either! Thanks for coming along
this journey with me!

Stolen Innocence: The Jan Broberg Story, a feature-length documentary film aboutthe bizarre abduction, rape & brainwashing of 12 year old Jan Broberg. 40 years later, a survivor, Jan is on a mission to tell the world about the evil that can live next door.
How the Money Will be Spent: We are asking for 32,000 dollars at this point in time. This is roughly 15% of our total budget. This will allow us to start shooting our documentary. The money that you donate will allow us to travel to Utah and Idaho to shoot key interviews. These interviews are the heart and soul of the documentary and will give us the building blocks necessary to construct an emotional, impactful and inspiring film. We will have close to 100 hours of footage that we will then transcribe and begin to edit into our story. At the same time we will be creating a trailer so that you can see where your money went. We will use the trailer to start publicizing the documentary and continue applying for grants so that we can raise the remaining finances to shoot the re-enactments and finish post production. This is the phase where the deeper story will be crafted – we will speak to experts in different fields (law enforcement, legal, counselors, therapists, etc) and really get to the heart of the story. We have a log road ahead of us but we are so excited for the journey. It will be emotional and hard…really, really hard but it will be so rewarding when we get to the end. We absolutely believe that we can change the world…and you will be part of that change. Thank you for donating to our film – we certainly couldn't do it without you!
